CONDITION OF CITY FUNDS I
Deficit ! that Have Heretofore Existed Are
Made Up.
WESTBERG ISSUES FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Comptroller riiulu uii Atnlluhle llnl-
auue In All the Fuuil * on
the lIcKlmilntr of the
Yenr. r
While the city during 1S9S spent more
money than It received In actual cash and
therefore cash deficits exist In certain of the
funds , theoretically It did not expend more
than It should have received. On the other
band , it made up deficits that existed on
January 1 , 1SOS , and ended the year with
available theoretical balances In all the
funds. That Is what City Comptroller West-
berg sets forth In ex statement of the city
finances for 1S9S that he has just Issued.
There U an apparent discrepancy In this
statement and this Is explained by the fact
that Comptroller Westberg's statement Is a
theoretical account. That Is , while hU ex
pense accounts show what has been actually
expended , his receipt colupins show what
ehoulJ have been received | n taxes and no-
what was actually received. In other \vord ,
if taxpayers had paid Into the treasury what
they were assessed , this theoretical state
ment would show the actual cash condition
of the funds. The dllllculty Is , however ,
that the taxpajerj paid In but 75 per cent
of the assessment , while the city drew
gainst 90 per cent , as allowed by law.
Therefore cash deficits exist In some of the
funds.
According to the- statement there was an
available balance In all the funds on Jan
uary 1 , 1S9S , of (178,348.67. Ninety per
cent of the 1898 levy amounted to (630.584.-
62. This Is the theoretical portion of the
statement , for actually but 73 per cent of
this was collected. The excess over 90 per
cent levies of past jears that was collected
amounted to (33,702.62. Miscellaneous re
ceipts brought a sum ot (474,126.76. The
total receipts , Including the 1S97 balances ,
should have been (1,318,762.57. The ex
pense account foots up a total of (1,270-
739.23 , leaving a balance therefore on Jan
uary 1 , 1S9 ! > . amounting to (40,023.34.
In the Item of miscellaneous receipts Is
Included the proceeds from the (300,000
funding bonds Issued , which were (307-
216.67 , and the (35,000 received In settle
ment from the Bolln bondsmen. The
former money w-as used In taking up out
standing warrants , while the latter was al
most entirely expended In making up cash
deficits In other funds. There remained as
balance In the funding bond fund on Jan
uary 1 but (1,023.96 and in the Bolln bonds
men fund but (2,880.39.
REPORT ON SMALLPOX CASES

There are no new developments In the
smallpox situation. No new cases have
been reported and reports from the attend
ing physicians are to the effect that the
afflicted are doing well. The rush for vac
cination still continues at the Board of
Health ofllco and the city physician or his
assistant is kept busy in inuoculatlng ttio
applicants.
Six physicians toavo completed the work
of vaccinating practically all the children
who attend the Train , Lincoln and Pacific
schools , A number of children through them
selves or their parents refused to be Vacci
nated , and these cannot attend the schools. .
On Monday the board will send phjslclans
to the Co'mcnius , Davenport and Druid Hill [
schools to vaccinate tie children there.
Thcro seems to bo a slight epidemic of
smallpox in various sections of the coun
try. Government reports state that the
disease Is prevalent In portions ot Michi
gan , Oklahoma , Pennsylvania , North Carolina
lina , Illinois. Virginia nnd Wyoming.
LICENSE FEES ARE REDUCED
Ordinance Introduced PnttltiK the
Tax Hack Where It Wan Prior to
Opening of UxpoMltlou.
License Inspector McVlttle has had In
troduced in the city council a number of
ordinances whereby the fees that must be
paid by licensed occupations are to be re
duced. In roost of the cases the license
fees were raised just prior to the exposition
and are now being brought down to something
like the original figure.
The licenses for wagon and push cart ped
dlers , which last year were $50 and (30 , re
spectively , are reduced to (40 and (25. Prior
to last year they were (30 and (20. The fees
were raised to Keep out peddlers who might
come hero to reap a harvest during the exposition - j
position , but License Inspector McVittee
declares that the applicants for licenses now
are old residents of the city In the majority
of cases.
Another ordinance reduces the licenses for
theaters that can scat 1,200 or more , from
(200 to (150 , and for theaters of a lesser
seating capacity , from (100 to (75. Prior to
last year the license -was (100 for both
classes.
Still another ordinance reduces tbo hack
drivers' license from (10 to (3. There was
no raise In this fee last year , but for several
years the hack drivers have maintained that
their license is too high. The ordinance was
introduced to satisfy them.

WHITE NAMES HIS DEPUTIES
Chief of I'ollce Act * In Acrnrdniice
with Judge SlnbaUKk'n Su -
Kcntloiiii.
One result of the decision announced In
the district court by Judge Slabaugb was
that no CMCS were tried before Judge Gor
don of the police court.
Judge Slabaugh decided that policemen
cannot legally serve warrants , as under the
city ordinances only the chief of police and
his deputies have that authority.
The Judge gave this decision after review
ing the habeas corpus proceedings brought
by Mr. Berkd on behalf of Dan Buckovls.
who Is accused of being one of three or four
men who assaulted Ofllcer Jorgcnson some
time ago.
I When Chief of Police White heard of
1 Judge Slabaugh's derision he sent on order
i to the police station deputizing the police
captains , the jailers , the court officer and
thirteen detectives. The police officers
will be deputized later. Under the court's
decision all the prisoners who were to have
been tried must be discharged and rearrested
consequently Assistant County Attorney
Thomas asked that the cues docketed for
trial bo postponed. Judge- Gordon granted
the request and new complaints will be
made out end served in each case.
When Chief of Police White was asked
what steps he would take to give policemen
authority to make arrests , he uald : "I think
the dllllculty will be avoided by deputizing
all the officers. This morning I have depu
tized the captains , sergeants , jailers , the
court officer and thirteen detectives. The
policemen will be given the same authority
tomorrow. The only power that has been
given the men Is to make arrests. "
